Swanson went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Friday's 20-1 rout of the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
His seventh-inning blast off Chasen Shreve was one of seven Atlanta homers on the night. Swanson has gone yard in back-to-back games whole reeling off three straight multi-hit efforts, and he's hitting .296 (21-for-71) in May with five of his seven home runs on the season.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a single in Sunday's victory over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson smoked his fourth homer of the year off Aaron Nola in the first inning. The shortstop was 5-for-11 in the series with his division rivals and he is now slashing .226/.299/.387 as Atlanta will expect him to continue to pick it up after a sluggish start to the season.

Swanson went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 12-2 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
He was the only batter to have any real success against Zach Eflin and the Philly bullpen, accounting for Atlanta's only extra-base hits on the night including Swanson's third homer of the year. The shortstop has been feast or famine lately, collecting multiple hits in five of his last 11 games while going 1-for-21 in the other six combined, but his .293/.356/.488 slash line over that stretch is a definite step up from his early season efforts.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
All three hits were singles, but Swanson did improve his line with his first steal of the season. The shortstop came into this series having gone just 3-for-26 over the last eight contests, but he's feasting off Cubs pitching with five hits in the last two games.

Swanson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-7 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Atlanta hit Zack Davies hard before chasing the Cubs righty from the game, but Swanson was the only one to take him deep. The 27-year-old shortstop has had a rough start to the season, and despite Monday's performance he's slashing .188/.261/.338 through 22 games with two homers, four runs and six RBI.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a RBI and a double in Thursday's 7-6 win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop finally broke through offensively, recording just his second multi-hit game and raising his early season average from .156 to .204. The lineup in front of Swanson has done him no favors with Ozzie Albies, Freddie Freeman and Marcell Ozuna all struggling considerably to begin 2021. However, those established hitters will presumably break out of their slumps and give Swanson more advantageous opportunities at the plate. The 27-year-old is coming off a career-best 2020 campaign and is once again beginning to flash that offensive prowess from a year ago.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop connected on his first homer of the season, and only his second hit through four games, in the second inning off Max Scherzer. Swanson rang up a career-high .809 OPS last year, and while his 0:6 BB:K indicates he doesn't quite have his timing down at the plate yet, Tuesday's blast suggests there's no cause for long-term alarm.
